The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

En Rekrut fra 64 er en dansk stumfilm fra 1910, der er produceret af Kinografen og instrueret af Urban Gad og Alexander Christian. Filmen er baseret på oberst Peter Frederik Rists debutroman af samme navn, der udkom i 1889. Filmen er den første af Kinografens produktioner. I en omtale i Politiken fra 21. juni 1910 fremgår det, at optagelserne fandt sted omkring Gentofte. Det bekræftes af en længere omtale i København fra 2. august, som også nævner, at over 200 statister medvirkede, og at optagelsen kostede 14.000 kroner. En mere præcis angivelse af location er Tjørnegaarden på Brogårdsvej. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
